Ilustration Toward Books Small as an Elephant

Jack’s mom is gone, leaving him all alone on a campsite in Maine. Can he find his way back to Boston before the authorities realize what happened? Ever since Jack can remember, his mom has been unpredictable, sometimes loving and fun, other times caught in a whirlwind of energy and "spinning" wildly until it’s over. But Jack never thought his mom would take off during the night and leave him at a campground in Acadia National Park, with no way to reach her and barely enough money for food. Any other kid would report his mom gone, but Jack knows by now that he needs to figure things out for himself - starting with how to get from the backwoods of Maine to his home in Boston before DSS catches on. With nothing but a small toy elephant to keep him company, Jack begins the long journey south, a journey that will test his wits and his loyalties - and his trust that he may be part of a larger herd after all.

Discuss Of Books Small as an Elephant

This was a good book. it all starts when jacks mom left him one day. Jack searched for days for his mom but also tried to hide from the cops. I think you should read this book to find out weather jack finds his mom or he ends up getting caught by the cops.

My thirteen year old son was drawn to this story. After he was done reading it, I picked it up. When he saw me reading it he told me he would chat about it with me when I Finished reading it. At first I found the story to be unbelievable because I could not imagine a mother being so mentally ill that she would leave her son all alone in a campground while they were on vacation. As the story continued I found myself rooting for Jack to make it back home. The author made the story very

Wow! What a beautiful little story. I only read a few children's/YA books each year, and I am so glad that this was one of them."Small as an Elephant" is about an 11-year-old boy named Jack who goes camping with his mom in Maine, but when he wakes up in the morning, his mother is gone. She took her tent and the rental car and left Jack all alone at the campsite. A scary beginning, to be sure, but Jack is a very capable boy. Jack sets out to try and find his mom, and it becomes quite the

Extraordinary and heartbreaking! Eleven year old Jack wakes up on the second day of a camping vacation to discover that his mom has packed up her own tent and the camping supplies and left him. Jack sadly seems well-accustomed to these disappearances and is more than capable of fending for himself. At first, he is not very worried but as the day stretches into nighttime and then into the second day, he realizes that he won't be able to hide the truth from nearby campers and the park rangers.

I don't usually read middle grade books, (though that will most likely change as my daughter gets older), but the premise of this book intrigued me. It's the story of Jack, and how his bi-polar Mother leaves him while camping on an island in Maine. Jack, doesn't want to be taken away from his Mother, so he decides to make his way back to Boston where he is sure she will come back to him.The story is peppered with facts about Elephants, which I (with my general elephant ignorance) found

At chapter 7, I put this book down because I was so angry I didn't want to keep reading. After being away from it for a week and letting my irritation die down, I picked it back up and finished. It did keep me interested until the end, but I still have a problem with it. I found Jack to be portrayed realistically, or at least, how I believe a boy in that situation might think and behave. He was at times strong-willed and at others, broken and helpless like a small child. He was frightened, he

When Jack and his mother travel to Maine to go camping over Labor Day weekend, Jack is happy and only a little grumpy about the argument he had with his mom about the sites they should see between Maine and their home in Massachusetts. When Jack wakes up after his first night in the National Forest, things are a bit different. Jack's mother has abandoned him. She's taken the car and her tent and simply vanished. At first Jack isn't too worried. Maybe she went to get food, maybe she moved to a
